  1. @Anony Mouse, yes, honestly, seems like s story that about 12 disgruntled people in Academia would care about. Republicans certainly aren’t amplifying it, because either they are even bigger cheats themselves or the story flies straight above their heads.

    We have a Finns party politician here in Finland who was found out to have copied chunks of her Master thesis written before the digital inspection was available. She ended up becoming a presidential candidate and obtaining 7 % of the vote in a race where popular incumbent got was elected on first round, and MEP with 4th highest amount of votes in a National race.

  2. Sir General Mike Jackson, high profile British army chief, has died from cancer today. Born into a military family on 21 April 1944 with a zero degree Sun conjunct Mercury in Aries, he was probably always destined for a career in combat.

  3. Can you look at budget day 30th Oct.

    It has tr Mercury at 25 Scorpio, quite close to the 1801 UK Neptune at 19 Scorpio in the second house. Opposing is tr Uranus at 25 Taurus conjunct Algol. So the UK financial houses are activated.

    Tr Mars is at 28 Cancer opposite Tr Pluto at 29 Cap. They’re sending squares to the tr Mercury and Uranus (Grand Cross).

    It seems stressful for budgets to have malefics squaring and opposing Mercury in the 2nd house.

    For Liz Truss’s mini budget on 23 Sept 2022, tr Uranus was at 18 Taurus, exactly opposite the UK Neptune in the 2nd house. So the financial houses were activated. Tr Saturn was at 19 Aquarius, squaring both the UK Neptune and tr Uranus. Mars was at 19 Gemini.

  4. With recent revelations of plagiarism, Kamala Harris now joins the ranks of Harvard’s Claudine Gay. How might their charts compare, I wonder?

    Lovely image of grass, like frozen fireworks.

    • @PC: tempest in a teacup? from the washington post “Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign Tuesday rejected claims that she and a co-author had plagiarized a handful of passages in a 2009 book on fighting crime, arguing that the allegations amounted to a partisan attempt to weaponize a 15-year-old work.” “Rightwing operatives are getting desperate as they see the bipartisan coalition of support Vice President Harris is building to win this election, as Trump retreats to a conservative echo chamber refusing to face questions about his lies,” campaign spokesman James Singer said in a statement. “This is a book that’s been out for 15 years, and the Vice President clearly cited sources and statistics in footnotes and endnotes throughout.”

      • I don’t know if the Washington post is biased, partisan or ill informed but they certainly seem to be attempting to diminish what occurred.

        Harris and her co-author passed off the language as their own, copying multiple paragraphs virtually verbatim. Including an entire wikipedia article, fabricating a source, inventing a page number.

        The 27 instances found are more than a handful, that’s for certain.

        I’m quite sure whether it happened yesterday or fifteen years ago, plagiarism is plagiarism.

          • Beth: see above, regarding my original astrological query, I’m seeking insight, suggesting a topic for the questions and comments section of Marjorie’s blog.

            Marjorie previously wrote a piece including Claudine Gay, who’s since been undone by plagiarism.

            Free speech – limits on individual rights 14th December 2023

            For more information on the Harris claims, check out the blog of:

            Doz. Dr. Stefan Weber,
            Plagiarism allegation against Kamala Harris

    • @PC, let’s get our priorities right first please. Trump: “I’ll use the military against liberal voters”, meanwhile Harris is accused of plagiarizing. By the way dr. Stefan Weber (Sun-Pluto quadrat) has been known to try to discredit people. His own mentor, Professor Peter Bruck told the newspaper that Dr Weber had gone from serving as “a useful tracker” and “transformed into an illegitimate detractor”.

  5. What is Starmer’s chart Marjorie? I’ve heard a few people say they think he is not up to it and will step down? I don’t know much about politics to be honest, but he seems to be picking up a mass of hot potatoes on immigration and riots about it. He also is inheriting a lot of wars that all seem to be going nowhere that previous have ignited and left him. Starmer seems to be getting up and announcing things and trying to smooth things over. I’m just curious why so many are saying he will step down.

  6. Recently I came across a composite chart of a long married couple, where there were unaspected planets (Pluto and Uranus) in the 4th and 5th houses. What do unaspected planets mean in a composite chart? I found it additionally peculiar that their synastry was especially heavy with nearly exact quadrats.
